The Human Neurogenetics Unit focuses on genetic studies of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Professor Veldink heads the unit and Dr Jurjen Luykx coordinates the genetic studies for psychiatric disorders. Diseases we focus on include amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and psychosis (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder). Both wet and dry lab pipelines involving large datasets and sizeable collections of biomaterials are in place. Employees at the lab include lab technicians, PhD students, bioinformaticians and postdocs.
